Josh and his cousins

David's last medical review

David's last review was last Thur. Normal routine check up showed all is well. Thank God! He is now only on Thalidomide. All antibotics and immuno-suppressant have been removed. Praise the Lord for the progress in his recovery. Thanks to all who have been praying for him all these while.

Do continue to pray for all whom you know who needs a touch from the Lord, for those who needs a miracle. More importantly, may we desire the Giver more than the gift. As a friend in US once shared with me the revelation she received from the preaching of her church minister, that we need Jesus more than the miracles, more the answers to our prayers. This is what she shared:
"Our sermon text for today was John’s account of Jesus feeding the multitudes with the loaves and the fish (in John 6:1-15), and our minister suggested that the answer to the question in the text about where they should buy bread for the people was indeed that Jesus is himself the bread of life (and therefore can quench hunger forever rather than for just a few hours like the bread). Based on this, our minister suggested that perhaps the miracles we seek aren’t really the answer to our prayers….and instead, that Jesus is the answer, and that Jesus doesn’t give us what we want but instead what we need. For me, this provided an interesting new understanding of the story of the loaves and the fish."

May we be blessed as we abide in our Lord Jesus, "giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy." (Colossians 1:12-18)

All honour, praise and glory be to the name of Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God!

Have a blessed weekend!

Josh - doing his homework

It has been a while since I last posted pictures in our blog. I like this photo of Josh very much. Took it while he was doing his homework.

"How great are Your works, O LORD!Your thoughts are very deep." Psalm 92:5

Thank God

If you had followed Xinxin's blog, you would be thanking God that she is doing very well now and the possible crisis in ward 76 due to the chicken pox scare is over. So thankful for the answered prayers. Surely He cares for us like no other.

David is going for his next medical appointment this afternoon. Please continue to pray for good result and that his condition has improved so much his medication could be significantly reduced. He is still having headaches and aches in his spinal area.

"...Lord, teach us to pray... (Luke 11:1)"

Thanks & God bless,

A call to pray

I received the email below from Emily this evening. It is an urgent prayer request for children at KKH ward 76, especially XinXin and Jeremy.

"Dear Friends, Just heard news from Joy that a nurse from Ward 76 who was doing night duties on Tuesday was diagnosed with chicken pox. As Jeremy was at Ward 76 most of the time on Wed when he was warded for MRI, he might be at risk too. Xinxin and all the other cancer patients that were warded recently have all been called back to inject or take some antibotics. Chicken pox and measles can be very dangerous if a cancer patient contracted it when their immunity is low. Hence, please pray for all these children especially XinXin and Jeremy. Emily"

Let us intercede and pray for protection and special covering upon the children. "Our God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1).

Let us pray Psalm 61 together on behalf of the children, substituting "my" with "their" (or their names), in Jesus name. Amen!

"Hear our cries, O God;
Attend to our prayers.
From the end of the earth we will cry to You.
When their (the children and their parents') hearts are overwhelmed;
Lead them to the rock that is higher than them.
For You have been a shelter for them,
And a strong tower from the enemy.
They will abide in Your tabernacle
They will trust in the shelter of Your wings.

For You, O God, have heard their vows;
You have given them the heritage of those who fear Your name.
You will prolong their lives.
Their years as many generations.
They shall abide before God forever.
Oh perpare mercy and truth, which may preserve them!

So, Iwe will sing praise to Your name forever.
That we may daily perform our vows." (Psalm 61)

Thanks & God bless,
Whee Ling

His grace is sufficient

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9.

That was the key message of my sharing at Dawn Community Church last Sunday. I have been praying for the Lord to show me exactly what He would like me to share. I could have shared about His unfailing love, faithfulness, miracles, answered prayers, support from His family of believers, His grace and mercies…and after much prayer, the answer from the Lord was “My grace is sufficient.” Indeed, the Lord has been gracious and merciful to us and His is all we need and His grace is sufficient.

Knowing His grace is sufficient helped me to be thankful, to be content, to be certain that "He is our very present help in time of trouble" (Psalm 46:1) and to experience His peace that surpasses understanding.

Thank you for praying for me for my sharing last Sunday. I was really gald the Lord could use me to encourage others in sharing about His words of truth and His acts of love. Truly His word brings life and light and it is not by might, not by power but by the Spirit of God. All glory and honor be unto Jesus our Lord!

I was pleasantly surprised when 2 dear sisters-in-Christ blessed me after the sharing by praying Psalm 16 over me and even sang the beautiful song "I will run to you".

May the lyrics of this song bless you as it had blessed me.

"I will run to you

Your eye is on teh sparrow
And Your hand, it comforts me
From the ends of the earth
To the depth of my heart
Let Your mercy and strength be seen

You call me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory
May You draw all men
As Your love and grace demands

And I will run to You
To Your words of truth
Not by might, not by power
But by the spirit of God
Yes I will run the race
Till I see Your face
O let me live in the glory of Your grace"

Be blessed,
